Job Description:

As an Assistant Commercial Manager, you'll play a vital role in supporting the expanding Civils Works Programme at Sizewell C and be part of our mission in helping Britain achieve net zero. SZC is a Nuclear New Build project where, when completed, it will provide low carbon electricity for 6 million homes for 60 years in the UK. The SZC project has obtained planning approval and is seeking financing with a view to start construction in 2024.

We're looking for both recent graduates with commercial experience and experienced Assistant Commercial Managers looking to develop their careers further.

Pay, benefits, and culture:

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer flexible benefits that support our employees’ physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing. Examples include: a market-leading company pension scheme, a bonus plan, health cover, electric vehicle leasing, mental health support, and employee discounts.

At SZC, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We aim for our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, those with disabilities, and support social mobility.

We’re a disability confident employer and will do all we can to support you through your recruitment journey with us. If you would like to discuss adjustments or support you may need, please note this within your application.

We value the differences you bring and will give you opportunities to thrive and succeed.

What you’ll be doing…

• Support Commercial Managers within the Civils Works function to provide commercial assurance and contract administration.
• Assess and value contractor applications and process payment certificates. Other duties include administering the Early Warning process, assessing daywork records and accounts, and providing advice on contract changes.
• Prepare commercial cost reports and measure progress.
• Compile supplier performance and lessons learned reports.
• Administer commercial management tools.

Who you are…

We’re looking for a highly motivated and self-starting Assistant Commercial Manager with a good knowledge of contracts, basic estimating, valuations, cost reporting, and financial modeling. You should have a basic understanding of contract performance measurement, risk management, and change/claim management.

Experience working within a commercial/contract administration environment is essential.

If the above sounds like you, then we’d love to hear from you!
